STORY 8/10
Tokyo Ghoul has an interesting story. The story takes place in a world where exist creatures called Ghouls, who cannot whitstand food eaten by humans (except coffee), needing to eat humans to survive. Thus, there is a human organization to fight these ghouls, the CCG (Comission of Counter Ghoul), initiating a true battle between races. In this context comes Ken Kaneki, a young university student which suffers an accident and receives transplanted organs from a ghoul, becoming a human-ghoul hybrid, the "one-eyed ghoul". Therefore, Kaneki is in the middle of two worlds, he doesn't feel human anymore and he struggles to fit in the ghoul's community. His effort to reconcile his new life and his old life and prevent as much as possible the conflicts between the two races is admirable and interesting. We end up sympathizing with both the CCG and the ghouls, they all have reason in their own ways and a dark side. Although the story has interesting conflicts and questions which side is correct (Humans or ghouls) and the difficulties suffered by Kaneki, I feel that the second part of the manga becomes kind of boring, focusing on fights between CCG, ghouls and anteiku, and cares less about the relationship between characters or creating new different plots. When it focused more in action scenes, I lost a bit of the initial interest I had. I need to complain about the ending too... Spoilers: it does not end. It has a sequel.. So the last volume is not actually the last volume, and it does not have a real conclusion, which made me a little disappointed.

ART 8/10
Okay, I know art is good and original, specially the manga cover art. I like it, because it is different, but it feels too "scribbled". It is not clean, and when I read fast, sometimes I do not understand what is happening and I have to go back and read again. The anime does not have this problem.

CHARACTER 8/10
At first, the mange seemed to care a lot about the character's feelings and their relationship, which I really enjoyed, but as the story went on, it focused more in action scenes and confllicts and a lot of secondary characters started to appear, which made me confused about who they were. However, Kaneki growing as a character was something really interesting to see, as well as his relationship with his old and new friends. Also, the relationship of humans and ghouls, CCG members and ghouls are all great points of the manga.

ENJOYMENT 7/10
As I've said, I really enjoyed the beginning of the manga. The change in Kaneki's life and the difficulties he had faced. However, after a while the story focused much more in conflicts, battles and action scenes, and not so much about the relationship between characters. The ending also did not have a real conclusion, so it also disappointed me.
